Welcome to AI Niche Navigator

I’ve not met you (probably) but let me have a guess why you’re here - you’ve always wanted to start a business but you don’t know ‘what’ business to start.

So you’ve never started!

You are doing well in your job and know that you could probably sail through life and do alright.

But you feel that there’s something more.

You yearn to have more control of your time and life. Building something for yourself that you’re proud of - a business that not only pays for your lifestyle but is genuinely enjoyable.

You might fall into one of three camps at this point:

  • you have lots of ideas (too many!)

  • you have zero ideas (none at all!)

  • You have a gem of an idea but want to validate it

In the first case we’re often blocked by the concern that we’re not good enough. What if I choose the wrong idea? What if it goes wrong?

There’s a level of fear that is stopping you from getting started. Instead you study more. Plan more. Prepare more. Hoping that one day you’ll be ready.

In the second case you know that business is a viable path to your dream lifestyle but you simply do not know where to start. You’ve got the desire to become an entrepreneur but a lack of knowledge.

This is normal. In school the entrepreneur in us wasn’t nurtured. Instead we were taught to memorise answers and conform. Sadly that won’t take you far as an entrepreneur.

In the third case you’ve got a seed of an idea but got overwhelmed by the complexity of the task. Starting a business is hard. Starting a successful business is even harder!

This can manifest in many ways. Confused by the technology. Not sure if you are following the right processes. Worried that your time investment won’t lead to a return on investment.

If you can relate to either (or all three) of these roadblocks you are in the right place. Both are extremely common - know that you are not alone.

Here’s the good news - with the right framework building your first business in the right niche does not need to be overwhelming.

What You'll Learn

  • How to uncover your skills, strengths, and passions

  • Clarifying your motivations and income goals for starting a business

  • Generating and evaluating potential business ideas

  • Validating your business concept with the market

  • Planning the next steps to get your business going

By the end, you'll have a solid business idea that is tailored to you and has been validated with real potential customers.

What We Won't Cover

This series focuses on the early stages of finding and validating your business concept. We won't be going into the specifics of business plans, funding, or full launch strategies. Those are important topics, but outside the scope for now.

Instead we’re going to remain focused on what your idea and niche. Focus focus focus!

Once that’s locked down I’ll point you in the direction of additional resources and next steps.
